How do I restrict access to the RT Series PXI Controller via its FTP server?

[phmk]

The RT Series PXI Controllers run an FTP server, so I can view files on the controller over the Internet wtih a Web browser. I can also download and upload files with a Web browser. How can I instruct the FTP server to give access only to specified, trustworthy FTP clients?

It is possible to "Lock" the controller from the Measurement and Automation Explorer program. The password you set when locking the controller (which prevents others from making configuration changes to the controller while running) is the same password that controls access to the FTP server. When the controller is unlocked, anyone who can access the PXI controller's IP can read, write, and delete files on the FTP server. When locked, anyone can read data from the FTP server, but only when logged in with the lock password will you have access to write or delete data.

For more information on locking your controller, see the user manual, MAX online help, or the following link.

That link didn't work for me.

Here's an updated one:
